Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has far exceeded expectations as a third-round draft pick out of Ohio State. And today Dan Snyder paid him accordingly. McLaurin signed a three-year extension worth up to $71 million according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The extension puts the former Buckeye in the top-five highest-paid receivers in the league.
Schefter also reported that McLaurin was given a $28 million signing bonus which is the largest ever for a wide receiver and that more than 75 percent of the contracted salary is guaranteed.
